About the author

Georges Politzer

21 books70 followers
French philosopher and Marxist theoretician of Hungarian origin, affectionately referred to by some as the "red-headed philosopher" (philosophe roux).

Politzer was already a militant by the time of his involvement in the Hungarian insurrection of 1919. He went into exile at age seventeen following the failure of the Hungarian Soviet Republic led by Béla Kun when the country fell under the rule of the repressive government of Austro-Hungarian Admiral Miklós Horthy.

He settled in Paris in 1921 after meeting Freud and Sándor Ferenczi in Vienna. He joined the French Communist Party sometime between 1929 and 1931.

At the beginning of the 1930s, the Communist Party founded the Workers University of Paris (l'Université Ouvrière de Paris) which lasted until dissolution by German occupation in 1939. During his tenure at the university, Politzer was entrusted with and given charge of a course on dialectical materialism.

A disciple of Marx and Lenin, Politzer was very interested in psychology, preaching the concrete aspects of this field, in relation to which he qualified traditional psychology as abstract. He also took a lively interest in nascent Freudian theory and its uses before eventually distancing himself from it. In this same period, he occupied the post of professor of philosophy at Lycée Marcelin Berthelot in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés.

Mobilized to Paris in 1940, he remained on the side of the French Communist Party secret command. Demobilized in July 1940, he oversaw the edition of a clandestine bulletin.

After his comrade and friend Paul Langevin, a physicist of world renown, was arrested in October 1940, Politzer published the first edition of The Free University (L'Université Libre), which told of the imprisonment of scholars and denounced the extortions committed by invading fascists during World War II.

In February 1942, Politzer's operations were stopped; he was arrested along with his wife Mai (also a Communist and a Resister) for violating the law banning the Communist Party. He underwent torture, being turned over to the Nazis on 20 March 1942 and undergoing execution by firing squad at their hands on 23 May of that year, just after having secretly published a French academic journal. His wife was transported to Auschwitz, where she died in March 1943.

رؤية نهائية موجزة لعصر التنوير الفرنسى فى القرن الثامن عشر من وجة نظر ماركسية فهو يفسر ظهور الانوار الفرنسية ويستتبع نتائجها حتى بداية الحكومات الفاشيستية فى أوروبا .

-الإنسان الأمثل في نظر العنصرية هو الإنسان الآلي
- إن التصوف للجبن وللعبودية تعبير عن انحطاط طبقة كانت فيما مضى ثورية
- منذ القرن التاسع عشر أعلنت البرجوازية أنه لابد للشعب من دين ، وفي عصر الرأسمالية الآيلة إلى تعفن ، ستبحث عن ملجأ لها حتى في أكثر أشكال العقيدة الصوفية بربرية ، في عقيدة الدم والعرق ، باذلة قصارى جهدها لإحياء الظلمات في النفوس إنقاذا لها
كتيب يقدم موجزا عن فلاسفة القرن الثامن عشر وآرائهم وتفسيرهم للعالم

عرض ماركسي لتاريخ فلسفة الأنوار والفلاسفة الماديين، اما اذا كنت تبي عرض موضوعي غير متحيز، فهذا الكتاب يمكن يقدر يقدملك كل شي، الا الموضوعية والحياد.
يدعي الكاتب ان الماركسية وماديتها الجدلية هم ورثة فلسفة الانوار الحقيقيين والوحيدين، وهم الوحيدين من قاموا بتطويرها وتجديدها ودفعها للتقدم، وذلك عن طريق تجاوزها، لماذا لا نطبق هذه القاعدة الجدلية على الماركسية نفسها؟
اما ان الأوان ليعترف اخواننا الماركسيين الأرثوذكس ان الطريق الوحيد لتجديد وتطوير الماركسية هو تجاوزها؟
